Thanks everyone!

Bill3, I don't know how to feel better. I find that guilt is one of those things that snowballs....I feel guilty for actually indulging in guilt

They both know that they don't have much longer....but rather than enjoy, they indulge in self-pity. For example, we remarked on how nice the Thanksgiving day parade was and my dad simply started talking about a recent terrorist threat and an attack in another country...And that's a pretty normal example of his behavior.

My mom is not well, but has recently been diagnosed with depression. I haven't told any of my family about my own mental problems, but she has to tell everyone hers. She has told me three times already (I know she forgets...) She likes to talk about what's wrong with her for pity. And that makes me angry because I am alone in my problems (with the exception of my husband)...

I suppose I will do the best I can under the circumstances.
It's really bringing me down further, though....

Thank you for listening to my rant.
